Date Palm Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Nestled in Coachella Valley, Date Palm Country Club sits at the base of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountain ranges, providing nearly every hole on the golf course with a stunning view. The course is the centerpiece of a popular retirement community near Palm Springs, a location that enjoys nice weather year-round and is just 20 minutes from shopping, dining, and museums. The layout is on the shorter side, but it still has some challenging holes. The golf course demands accuracy with every contour of the rolling terrain and you'll be put to the test even further when maneuvering the small greens and narrow fairways. The bunkering is minimal but strategic at Date Palm C.C., and the occasional water hazard also comes into play. In addition to the golf course, there is a practice putting green.

My tee shot on the second hole. It was nice to get a birdie early. Photo submitted by Napawillie on 03/30/2015
Great starter or tune-up course
My wife is a relative new-comer to golf and Date palm provided our best choice yet for her to use all of her clubs in a challenging yet fair environment. I am a single digit handicapper yet I found I used all of my clubs in the course of the round. Greens were excellent, holes were challenging, though a little trimming of
many over-hanging trees along the fairways would help. All together a pleasant place for a couple of varied abilities to play.
Great Warm up course
Great warm up course. Had carts, nobody in our way, great fast easy mostly par 3 course, 4 par 4s. Would play again. Greens are really nice.
Course was good for our beginner or moderate players.
Enjoyed playing the course. Very difficult to get tee times but when we played hardly anyone there. Staff don’t seem to care about booking tee time. Just say none available. Maybe just a bad day.
Will try another time.
Rude lady in office
I have played this course many times over the past 21 years. However today a grumpy old lady didn't want to check me in as she was eating a sandwich at 10.15 aml. She was so rude it was unbelievable. Eventually she got off her butt and gave me a key for the power cart. She never said anything about the large group starting in 1 hour from #1 and 10 tees.when we got to #10 there was 12 golfers waiting to tee off. We went around them and played it after #18.. not coming back anytime soon.
This course needs a nicer host
Nice par 3 course with a few driving opportunities. In good shape as well. The host was less than professional though—she arrived late and we didn’t make t time. Another group of locals jumped in front of us, even though she knew our t time, she had no sense of urgency. Most unprofessional check in experience I’ve ever had. The grass was a little high as well. That said, I paid 36 with gn which was an acceptable value. The couple I was with paid 50 each
A Hidden Gem
This an executive course that was in immaculate condition. Fairways were plush and the greens were excellent. Would definitely play here again.
However, the lady in the pro shop was a Debbie Downer. No personality whatsoever. We were fortunate that the course conditions didn't reflect her personality.
Great day at Date Palm!
First round of the week, great executive course to have a little warm-up before playing some longer courses. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in great shape. A very enjoyable day in the sun.
Great par 3
We were supposed to play another course that day but due to the wind cancelled our game. I then looked on GolfNow and found a time available at Date Palm.
We enjoyed ourselves as a 2some and the only golfers on the course. Absolutely no wind there.
The greens were great as well as the rest of the course, we were pleasantly surprised.
Course needs TLC
Wow, has this course ever deteriorated over the years! Too bad as we used to play there a lot.
The Royal 9 was OK, although slow as they seemed to put everyone out at the same time and of course, there wasn't a Players Assistant on the course.
We then went on to the Mountain 9...lots of work needed. Couldn't tell the rough from the bunkers on some of the holes.
The greens on both nines are patchy (maybe a virus?).

This person obviously attributed their round to the wrong course because Date Palm does not have a Royal 9 or a Mountain 9, and it is in the best shape in 15 years!.
